Kona Coffee Cookies - Kona Coast for Blue Monday

Kona Coffee Flavored Peanut Butter Cookies

The Blues of Heaven and Earth on Hawaii's Kona Coast

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...These peanut butter cookies are standouts for two reasons. They're extremely easy to make and they don't taste like peanut butter. While the texture is like that of a peanut butter cookie, the controlling flavor here is the Kona coffee. Tasters use words like creamy, smooth, clean and sweet to describe it. Professional tasters go a bit further and say it's bright and has a lingering taste that hints of chocolate. Their favorite descriptors are medium-bodied and balanced. That always puts me in a spin because those are the words I use to describe wine. To be honest, I'm not a fan of Kona coffee, but I do love its use in these cookies. The recipe originally came from the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. I've change it slightly to incorporate the use of fresh peanut butter and a bit of vanilla. I've also been known to add Macadamia nuts to the batter. This recipe will work with any coffee powder or granule, but use Kona granules if you can. That chocolate-like undertone works well in these cookies. The cookies can be made by young bakers so their assembly can be a family affair that's blessed with an easy cleanup. Here's the recipe for these slightly crumbly cookies.Kona Coffee Cookies...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, the cookies!!! And the Blue scene. Ocean. Nothing's better in my opinion.

I am sorry to hear you had a problem getting a comment to post on my blog. I was posting another post of a memory of The Grand Canyon and editing it...perhaps that was messing your ability to comment? I don't know. But I have another post besides my messy one. LOLOLOL

Oh Mary! Good Morning Sunshine. Here to get my morning dose of Mary Bites. This sounds like a good recipe to use when baking with the grand daughters. Maybe this weekend we will bake cookies. I am so glad you popped over and saw the quilt. I just fell in love the minute I saw it. I always check out the baby quilts because just like this one, sometimes they don't look like a baby quilt and can be used in many ways. I love the blue on my wood table. It just pops. Have a wondeful day my friend. Country Hugs and Love, Sherry

Happy Blue Monday, Mary!!Oh those cookies are sooo tempting for coffee lovers!That sky and surf photo is just breathtaking!Thanks so much for stopping by today...your sweet comment is so appreciated!Hugs, Lynn♥

There goes my resolution to only make one sweet a week. I don't think I can wait a week on these. Two of my favorites, coffee and peanut butter. I love the texture of PB cookies so I can't wait to try them with the coffee flavor. Thanks for the great recipe Mary.
